transparency

The FCA has taken a further step towards DC cost disclosure but, as Jonathan Stapleton says, such transparency will have its own hidden costs.

From 3 January next year, firms looking after DC members' money will need to comply with new disclosure requirements. James Phillips reports.

B&CE has published a full breakdown of transaction costs for The People's Pension - revealing both the explicit and implicit costs for its default fund - and has also called for the introduction of a soft cap on such costs.

Darren Philp explains why The People's Pension has published a full breakdown of transaction costs and is backing the introduction of a 'comply or explain' soft cap for such charges on DC funds.

The combination of lack of trust, poor transparency, and inadequate retirement funds will cause "civil unrest" in the next few decades, Andy Agathangelou warns.

With fiduciary mandates on the rise and managers in the spotlight after the FCA's asset management study, James Phillips explores what trustees want from them.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has confirmed the 20 members and four observer organisations of its Institutional Disclosure Working Group.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) wants to improve the disclosure of costs and charges to defined contribution (DC) members and will consult on this in the future, policy manager David Farrar says.

Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) has become the latest asset manager to sign up to the £217bn Local Government Pension Scheme's (LGPS) code of transparency.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has appointed Chris Sier to chair its working group on disclosure of costs and charges for institutional investors.
